What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Cream's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must receive prior approval from Cream to relocate their shop. If Cream approves the relocation, the franchisee must pay a relocation fee of $7,500.
In addition to the $7,500 relocation fee, the franchisee is also responsible for reimbursing Cream for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred while processing the relocation. These expenses include legal fees.
This fee structure means that relocating a Cream franchise can be a costly endeavor. Franchisees need to factor in not only the stated relocation fee but also potential legal and other unstated expenses when considering a move. It is important to discuss potential relocation costs with Cream in detail before making any decisions.
